Rode VideoMicro II On-Camera Microphone

VideoMicro II is an all-new version of the popular VideoMicro, a high-quality shotgun microphone for DSLRs and camcorders. The microphone has been redesigned to give you greater control over your audio with a simple plug and go operation. We've also included new features like our HELIX Isolation Mount System, which isolates the microphone from vibrations and handling noise. This means you can shoot handheld without compromising on sound quality.

VideoMicro II delivers high-quality audio directly into your camera or smartphone using a standard 3.5mm TRS output connector. It's perfect for run-and-gun shooters looking for professional sound quality in a compact package.

The HELIX Isolation Mount System is an integral part of the design that keeps unwanted noise out of your recordings by isolating the microphone capsule from any surface vibrations or handling noise. The mount is compatible with any standard camera shoe mount, so it can be mounted on top of your camera or on the hot shoe itself — the choice is yours!
